Message: [QUOTE="HtownOrange, post: 628197, member: 622"] Because BC doesn't parade around pretending the whole ACC is dependent on them. Repeatedly, FSU and Clemson fans act as if they are the only football teams, with a polite hat tip to Miami and wink at VATech. Simply put, if FSU wants to be the standard bearer, ala Texas, Oklahoma, tOSU, Michigan, USC, Alabama, LSU, the FSU had better win like them. Something FSU has failed to do in over a decade. VATech tried to "carry the torch" but Beamer has failed to win the big games, as is his history. The ACC gets no respect for placing a team in the BCS, only winning games. The conference is dependent on ALL schools doing their part. Each school has to step it up. The ACC is still underpaid, but the contract will end in the future (aside from the two look ins). That translates into a definite period in which all ACC teams need to improve their overall football (read: OOC quality and wins). [/QUOTE]
